The hot summer week of commemorating and celebrating the birth death and resurrection of our LORD and Savior has passed.
Back to the daily grind goes Christendom.
And some had forgotten.
Of all the personalities in the world, JESUS CHRIST is the most enigmatic and problematic. NO other personality in this lifetime will disturb you with a decision to make. Name the greatest personalities sages and philosophers that lived and died.
You can care less except for JESUS. When one comes to learn about him you are presented with a choice. One that has dire consequences which to the human brain is so repulsive even unacceptable.
“The very name Jesus seems to bother people. It embarrasses them, makes them angry, or makes them want to change the subject. You can talk about God, and people don’t necessarily get upset, but mention Jesus, and people want to stop the conversation.

Latest technology and archeological findings verify the truth of the historical Jesus and the Bible.
Simon Greenleaf was an esteemed legal expert in the United States, having held prestigious positions such as the Royall Professor of Law and the Dane Professor of Law at Harvard University, where he succeeded Justice Joseph Story. While teaching at Harvard, Greenleaf authored a book in which he evaluated the legal value of the apostles’ testimony to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Greenleaf argues that it would have been impossible for the apostles to persist in affirming the truths they had narrated if Jesus had not truly risen from the dead since they were as certain of this fact as any other fact. Based on the legal evidence laws applied in courts of justice, Greenleaf concludes that the resurrection of Christ is one of the most firmly supported events in history.

We as Believers in Jesus Christ today have complete confidence, as did the first Christians, that Our Faith is based not on myth or legend but on the solid historical fact of the risen Christ and the empty tomb.
